ADMIRAL. PORTER
has made his annual report 10 the secre-
tary of the navy. In considering the
question of coast defenses, the admiral
states that the following haTbOrS are Ell
tirely defenseleSS against a single iron
clad: NeG York. Boston, San Fran
cisco, lake ports, Hampton Roads, Nor
folk, New Orleans, Philadelphia,
Washington. Baltimore, Portland,
Me. Rhode Island ports, Key

greater or less importance. Two heavy
ircncladS could commence at the east
ernmOSt point and proceed along the
coast to Texas. laying them all under con-
triDUtiOn. In time of war. says the adj
miral, the torpedo system will be useless
for defense i'll the absence of proper
Notifications and guns. For the
event of war we are 10 more
prepaI ed than we were a year ago, al
though we have made a beginning to re-
pair simply the waste il our navy for
the past twenty-five years. In heOpin-
ion of the admiral the first step toward
the protection of the coast should be
the construction of a squadron of heavy
ironclads. The admiral argues at
length in favor of subsidies for ship
ping, and points to the success Of the
system in England, Germany and

THEY'RE ALL HAPPY.
That Mock Marriage Will Cause
No Trouble.

EAU CLAIRE. Wis, Oct. 31.-A great
social sensation was recently created
here, and in other cities where the lady
in the case is well known, by the mar
riage in fun of Miss Clara Foster (daugh-
ter of Millionaire Foster, this county,
to Edward Foss, station agent at Fair
child. Interest is added to the case by
the fact that the charming young lady
has a twin sister who so closely reSem-
bleS her that many are unable to tell
the two apart. and the sister who had
nothing to do with the eScapade
has experienced as much an
nOyance as Miss Clara. who did
not leave her room for several days
after the affair. while Mr.. FOSS. who is
a gay grass widower. was at times quite
uncertain which girl he had married.
1t was at first supposed by the dis
tracted bride that the only way to eS-
cape was to be formally divorced. The
matter has now been settled. after much
Worry. The TumOr that Mr.. Foss was
demanding 100000 from the young la
dy's father as condition of release be-
ing quite unfOunded, as Mr.. FOss is too
much of a gentleman. A plan was
devised in consultation of the village
wiSeacreS and lawyers with assistant
counsel from Augusta and Eau CLAIRE.
1t was concluded that a divorce was not
necessary, but that all parties must go
on record as having engaged in the mar
riage ceremony without any serious i'll
tent and merely as jest. Accordingly,
bride, groom and justice of the peace
made solemn affidavits to that effect,
and the bride and groom exchanged
receipts as it were. OF course, this
remedy may be legally weak, and
it was probably advised by the law
yers simply to quiet agitation. They
acted rather as physicians than as law
yers. At any rate, the matter is con-
sidereG as settled in this way, and the
millionaire's lovely daughter smiles
through her tears of yeXatiOn and grief.

THE INDIANS.
Commissioner Atkins Thinks They
Are Making Commendable Prog

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Oct. S1.-CommissiOner
of Indian Affairs Atkins, in his annual
report. notes substantial evidence of
continued progress on the part of the
Indians towards civilization. The
progress shows itself all along the line
in increased knowledge and experience
in agriculture. in enlarged facilities
for stock growing, in better buildings
and better home appointments, and in
the adoption of the dress and customs
of the white man. Higher evidence of
progress. he says, is given in the largely
increased attendance of pupils at school,
which has been greater during the past
year than during any preceding year,
and in the still more gratifying fact, adj
mitted by all intelligent and close OBJ
servers of Indians. that the parents de-
sire that their children shall avail them
selves of the generous opportunity for
education afforded by the government,
and by kind hearted Christian mission
aries, who unSelfiShly devote time.
labor and money to the education of
Indian youth. Commissioner Atkins
devOtes considerable space in his report
to the subject of
in Severalty to the Indians under the
law passed last winter. This policy, he
says, is now being entered upon with
fair prospects. and if steadily executed
will. no doubt, be all that the friends OF
the measure anticipated. Il think" he
says, lit may be safely predicted that
when the system is thoroughly in oper-
alton there will be fewer cases reported
of Indians having been driven from
their homes through ignorance of their
rights. There will be less conflict be-
tween the races, and the wisdom of con-
greSs in making this beneficent prOvis-
ion will everywhere be recognized. |

allotment act if it was not the purpose
of the congress which passed it and of
the executive whose signature made it
law ultimately to dissolve all tribal re-
lations and to place each adult Indian

citizenship
TABLES OF ESTIMATES
